Procedure

A mixture of 33.9 g (0.3 mol) of ethyl cyanoacetate and 59.1 g (0.3 mol) of 4-acetamidobenzaldehyde in 300 ml of ethanol in the presence of 5 ml of piperidine is refluxed for 3 hours. The very viscous medium is diluted with 800 ml of hot ethanol. It is filtered while hot. The yellow solid obtained is washed with hot ethanol. After filtration and drying, 32 g (41% yield) of ethyl 3-(4-acetylaminophenyl)-2-cyanoacrylate are obtained in the form of a pale yellow powder.
